Re: ABC Q&A
The car companies would have been laughing all the way to the bank, they cry to the government that it is too expensive to manufacture in Australia so the various governments just hand over more cash and of course make sure the companies promise to stick around. They bugger off anyway.
There's a difference between investment and being held over a barrel.
Gifting Ford or General Motors hundreds of millions to continue to produce so-so cars in Australia isn't a good move.
Instead saying to both of them "we have x billion here to invest in the design and manufacture of hybrid vehicles in Australia, with a backend share in any profits - now provides us with your proposals and we will decide who gets the money in competition ....
.... well that would be a different kettle of fish.

Efficiency? What's that got to do with bias?

Re: ABC Q&A
ABC does the best job of them all in Australia. They report the news. It just so happens that there are plenty of right wing gaffes to report on, hence why many would call it biased. They didn't hold back on the reporting of the Labour party implosion.

Re: ABC Q&A
Efficiency is an obvious problem when speaking about the mainstream media who lobby the right wing government. That's bias and as a result, inefficient. I don't suppose you get all your news from Channel 9 News or Andrew Bolt. If you did, you've have very biased news which makes you less informed than you should be.

Where do you think channel 9 gets it best ratings? The blue or the red?

Re: ABC Q&A
People have a tendency to conflate demographics with politics and left/right thought.
Plenty of traditional working class people who have voted Tory.
Plenty of the intelligentsia vote Labour.
I prefer quality over left or right so I don't have an issue with the ABC. On the other hand, when I read the Australian I dial in for the bias. Of course, there is also anti-govt reporting in there too. I left the Age for the Australian- as I thought the Age was becoming frivolous.

Re: ABC Q&A
So no link then? So your point is only opinion and as usual, an uneducated one. And the red can't mean Labour as Lindsay is most definitely LNP. You might remember that they voted for LNP because they told them that the Asylum Seekers are causing massive build up on our motorways.

Re: ABC Q&A
Very weak response. Ask a valid question and I'll give you an answer. You can't provide a link to back up your claim. I can't say if more rural areas are more likely to watch Channel 9 and even vote let alone pick a political side. You're as hollow as this government.
Tell me, if you don't watch ABC, where do you get your news from? Who would be your preferred journalist? Obviously I'm talking about political issues.

Re: ABC Q&A
Thread title mate. Q&A. Its not all about Nigel and his questions. That's the Julia rubbing off on you.
But for what its worth. SMH, BBC, ABC, SBS. But I'm rapidly going off ABC breakfast news. The woman presenter is your typical dopey, loud mouth, lefty, bogan. Not my cup of tea.
